Native herbivores and environmental heterogeneity as mediators of an exotic grass invasion
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2727
Abstract: Abstract Given that many exotic plant species throughout the world are having large ecological and economic effects, it is vital to understand the forces that mediate their success in novel landscapes. Both native herbivores and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5109
Abstract: Abstract Niche breadth is predicted to correlate with environmental heterogeneity, such that generalists will evolve in heterogeneous environments and specialists will evolve in environments that vary less over space and time. We tested the hypothesis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8817
Abstract: Abstract The importance of terrestrial coastal ecosystems for maintaining healthy coral reef ecosystems remains understudied. Sea kraits are amphibious snakes that require healthy coral reefs for foraging, but little is known about their requirements of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9869
Abstract: Abstract Evaluating the contributions of geographic distance and environmental heterogeneity to the genetic divergence can inform the demographic history and responses to environmental change of natural populations. The isolation‐by‐distance (IBD) reveals that genetic differentiation among… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4150-2
Abstract: Environmental heterogeneity (EH) plays a central role in hypotheses used to explain distributions of species diversity. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis of species richness–EH (S–EH) relationships reported for experimental or quasi-experimental studies. We controlled for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12110-020-09383-4
Abstract: Despite decades of research, we still lack a clear explanation for the emergence and persistence of inequality. Here we propose and evaluate a marginal utility of inequality hypothesis that nominates circumscription and environmental heterogeneity as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2017.03.005
Abstract: Abstract Environmental heterogeneity has recently received increased attention due to its effect on biological diversity, ecosystem services and ecological resilience to disturbance and hazards. However, its relationships with landscape complexity as an indicator of visual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/mf17255
Abstract: Different environmental preferences and dispersal abilities allow fish to coexist in local communities. In the present study we analysed the effects of engineering species on the community structure based on the example of the European… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arw148
Abstract: Lay Summary The pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis predicts that environmental differences can trigger the evolution of different life-history strategies, including differences in personality. A 5-year study reveals that blue tits breeding in different habitats differ in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.13177
Abstract: A key aim of ecology is to understand the drivers of ecological patterns, so that we can accurately predict the effects of global environmental change. However, in many cases, predictors are measured at a finer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.14000
Abstract: Predicting the fate of tropical forests under a changing climate requires understanding species responses to climatic variability and extremes. Seedlings may be particularly vulnerable to climatic stress given low stored resources and undeveloped roots; they… read more here.
